Mrs Yuki Gambaryan, wife of one of the Binance executives detained by the Nigerian government, Tigran Gambaryan, has called on the United States' government for intervention on her husband’s continued detention in Nigeria.

Yuki made the call through the US Senator, Cory Booker, and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, who led a delegation to President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday at the State House.

In a statement made available to journalists, she said, “For more than 30 days, the Nigerian government held my husband without charging him with any crime.

“Then, they charged him with being responsible for the unsubstantiated actions of his employer rather than having negotiations with the company in a manner in line with international norms.

“Simply put, my husband is being held as blackmail. As these members of Congress are travelling across Nigeria, I am calling on them to push the Nigerians to release Tigran and continue their investigation directly with Binance through appropriate channels.”

SaharaReporters had reported that Gambaryan sued the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the alleged violation of his fundamental rights.

Gambaryan in the originating motion dated and filed on March 18 by his lawyer, Olujoke Aliyu, from Aluko and Oyebode Law Firm, sought five reliefs before Justice Inyang Ekwo.

Also, Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance’s Africa regional manager who escaped from lawful custody on March 22, filed a separate right enforcement suit before Justice Ekwo.

SaharaReporters had also reported that the Office of the NSA had confirmed the escape of one of the detained executives of Binance, Nadeem Anjarwalla from custody.

In February, Gambaryan, a US citizen and the head of financial crime compliance at Binance, and his colleague Nadeem Anjarwalla, who has escaped from custody, were detained by the Nigerian government for financial and other related offences.

Stupid country with stupid leaders, particularly since 2015. Buhari was raiding Supreme Court justices houses, and chasing after Abokifx operators. Now his very obnoxious ronu successor is outdoing him by kidnapping Foreign business executives who honoured invitations to the country for discussions.

If the Nigerian government has any issues with Binance as a corporate entity, why not deal with Binance itself following the standard channels/procedures? In any case, the only person whose weight is equal to Binance within Binance is CZ. Why not send your Isale Eko Jameson Bond amala agents to kidnap CZ the same way Buhari kidnapped Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya?

It is idiocy to 'detain' a company's employees because you have an issue with the company. It's the same way our security agencies routinely kidnap someone's pregnant wife or aged parents because the 'someone' is at large. No where else in the world does this happen.

Your husband had the audacity to sue National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu and the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the alleged violation of his fundamental rights

You will soon understand that no Nigerian has any fundamental right
